, yes! Just dilute your KT with water if it has got too acidic.

BTW, one of the best natural ways of combating cystitis is the

wonderful Cranberry, or extract of cranberry. They contain the active

ingredient Proanthocyanidine or tannins, which prevent the infection

causing bacteria to get a hold on your bladder and/or waterworks.

Hope you get back to normal soon, .

All the best with blessings,

Connie,

There are different schools of thoughts. I practised the one which

believes that Kombucha is excellent for both mother and child,

even in pregnancy and whilst breast-feeding.

The only caveat given which makes sense to me is, that it is unwise

to START Kombucha in pregnancy or whilst nursing.

If drinking Kombucha has been part of your daughters' lives before,

there is no reason whatever to stop drinking it in the measure they

desire.

Always remember, Kombucha is not a drug but a wonderful balancing

food, one of the best!

with Kombucha greetings,

Margret:-)

Has anyone tried the natural product Manno Max? found at health food

stores? The ingredient is D-mannose, which I believe come from the

cranberries.

I got much more relief from this product than just cranberry juice or

cranberry capsules.

Just a suggestion. I hate those infections! I will do anything to not

have to take the antibiotics if I have to.

Margret......

That is what I thought you would say! Makes sense!

I bought mine from www.anahatabalance.com

It's still on the sweet side so I'm going to let it ferment for a

bit longer but I did receive a nice, thick (almost 1 " ), white,

unblemished, ORGANIC :-) scoby in organic starter fluid. They brew

in glass only and you can even opt to have it sent in a small glass

jar (or a plastic heavy duty sealed bag). So I can't say that it's

been great because my first batch is not ready to drink but so far,

so good. There is another person here who also bought from them and

said she was quite happy with them. There are several members here

though that when they have extras are willing to share, you

generally pay for postage & handling.

Hi ,

Some antibiotics should not be taken with acidic foods, if that is the

case with the one you are taking then perhaps you will need to space

the antibiotic well away from your KT drinking....your Pharmacist

should be able to tell you whether the antibiotic you are taking has

such a restriction or not.

Get well soon!

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

Someone asked if they could trust the SCOBYs from the on-line stores. I got

my first one from The Happy Herbalist, and I certainly got a good one. I

have more SCOBYs than I can imagine what to do with: even using them for

skin creams and dog treats, I have a bunch! That first one did an

outstanding job of getting me started. THH claims that his are all used with

organic teas, and he sends along a good amount of starter. I started with a

one-gallon jar making three quarts, then added a three gallon container,

then another container that did six quarts, and finally the five-gallon

continuous brew. Right now, everything except the continuous brew is

resting. My fridge is full of bottled KT; my storage jars are full of

SCOBYs; the dog jar (one quart) is full of cut up SCOBYs; and another quart

jar is full of ground SCOBYs!
